Psalm 71:17-24
New King James Version
17 O God, You have taught me from my (A)youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
18 Now also (B)when I am old and grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
19 Also (C)Your righteousness, O God, is [a]very high,
You who have done great things;
(D)O God, who is like You?
20 (E)You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
(F)Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.
22 Also (G)with the lute I will praise You—
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
To You I will sing with the harp,
O (H)Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And (I)my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;
For they are confounded,
For they are brought to shame
Who seek my hurt.
